Brief Answer:
Some investigations are needed.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for writing your query.

After reading your post, it seems that you are having allergic bronchitis but I would suggest that you should first get following investigations done :-
1. Absolute Eosinophil count.
2. Chest X-Ray PA view.

You will get relief from your symptoms if you take the prescribed medicine (lecope-m) in proper dosage for the the duration advised by your doctor. It is usually taken daily at evening for at least a month. A clinical evaluation will help in evaluating the benefit of adding a bronchodilator inhaler, if needed.

Further can be commented after knowing the reports of the above mentioned investigations.
I hope this is helpful to you.
If you have any further query, I will be happy to help.
Thanks.
